Kate rolled over in her bed and slowly opened her eyes. The blinding white sunlight streamed through the blinds in her bedroom window. She sat up and grew confused as she thought the situation over. The sun shouldn't be that bright yet. She didn't hear her alarm go off, so she must've woken up before it, but her alarm sounds before the sun comes up. Kate was almost too terrified to turn and look at the digital clock on her bedside table. It was just what she had feared. The clock was blinking a gray 12:00 repeatedly. Kate groaned as she started to realize what was happening. Her wristwatch read 9:30. She had exactly 30 minutes to get to work. She jumped out of bed and shuffled over to her suitcase that was still packed from her latest adventure. …show more content…
She arrived just in time and burst through the door. The sun had begun to disappear since she woke up this morning and was now replaced by large black clouds. That meant a busy day. When it's cold and rainy, people tend to crave the delicious warm coffee that the café was known for. Kate was lucky that this place was owned by her friend's father, or she may not have a job. She wasn't in town very often, so she almost never got to work for more than a week at a time. Her parents had forced her to get this job as a way of helping them pay for her extensive journeys.
"Gap years can’t last forever, Kate. You have to learn to take care of yourself" they would tell her. Her gap year had only lasted half a year longer than intended. She had planned to end her gap year and go to college after she found what she was looking for. Or after she turned 40. Whichever came first. She tied her apron in the back and turned the sign on the door to read open. A couple of minutes later, her coworker burst through the door.
"Hey sorry I'm late! I just saw the most beautiful red roses in a planter on the way here and I had to take a picture of them!" He proclaimed. He had just started seeing colors a couple of days ago. It was two in the morning in Australia when he called Kate about

Dave had the brightest smile that almost drove away the dark clouds in the sky. Kate wore a frown. Happy couple after happy couple found refuge from the rain in the café. There was the occasional person who came in by themselves and seemed just as miserable as she was.
The day drug on and on. All she had to do was survive a couple more hours.
"Hey, Kate, can you take over orders for a sec? I need a little break." Dave called in the middle of a huge wave of people.
"Sure." They switched places and Dave took over the register as Kate took over filling orders. She dealt drink after drink like she had every order before. However, this particular order was taking forever to come get their drink. She called the number again and searched through the sea of faces to see if anyone was even listening. Then, she found what she was looking for. As she started to set the drink on the counter to move onto the next order, her eyes caught those of a young man, probably around her age. His eyes were a dull green. His hair was messy, curly, and brown. He glanced at the floor as he walked to the counter, and barely looked at Kate when he retrieved his drink. As he turned to walk a away, he stopped dead in his tracks and turned around with a look of shock on his face. Kate knew her face probably looked the same
..., Kate was trying to make her deadline and she was upset about the lack of communication within the organization, so she called Jeff. Kate was directed to his assistant, and she was told that her appointment request would have to wait, again, because Jeff was in the Bahamas all week.
Kate was born and brought up an only child. At first Kate was a normal child and no one thought anything of her. When she got a little bit older Kate began to do things other children wouldn't normally do. At one point she was caught in her Barn with two boys and her tied up. Her mother and father punished her for this and whipped her until she was good again. Kate was doing great things, she was doing things that made her look like a perfect child. One day though Kate made a plan to kill her parents by locking them in the house while she sets it on fire. Kate did this and immediately got out of town. This is when Kate made her and ended up with Adam Trask another main character.
“There's only a small gap left. You're the only one here who can make it through to the city...” Darby begged. “Go find that family of yours… I’m sure it won’t be too long now.” She gulped and looked over at Mr. Jacks. His eyes widened and she quickly looked away. Darby and Kate stood on opposite sides of the force field.
It's Nine Eleven, and the sun is just starting to come up. Everyone in town are at the Twin Towers. The planes just crashed into the buildings, and now the Twin Towers are on fire. The people from the fire station aren't for sure if they can put it out. The fire was pretty big. There were pieces of the building flying everywhere, and it was on fire!
“GET AWAY!”, Eleven screamed as the scientists were getting closer and closer to her. Ever since Eleven was a kid, she knew she wasn’t normal, but she didn’t realize she was this abnormal. She didn’t know what was so special about her that scientist would want to keep her in a cell. After several days, she was furious at the scientists so she screeched so loud that the lights flickered, the windows shattered, and the guards dropped dead. Before the police were contacted she fled. Without hesitation, she ran until she found Mike, a boy that looked about the same age as her.
SQUEEEKK! The police car skidded across the side of the road, leaving a swiveling trail of black marks in its tracks. “Stop right where you are!” A deep officer’s voice shouted out the car window. Melanie and Henry’s faces turned red as a tomato.
The first thing that was displayed on the screen that read Bryan's thoughts was a strange place. It seemed blurry at first, but the image cleared up as he thought more profoundly of the memory. It showed a strange place that seemed a bit too violent for humans to inhabit it, which meant it had to be an abstract memory or a different dimension. Wendy knew about alternate dimensions because she had studied about them in college. She knew right away that it looked a bit too... fiery for human life to flourish on here.
gladly take care of him. She thanked them and went back to Kino. He had just
The night was tempestuous and my emotions were subtle, like the flame upon a torch. They blew out at the same time that my sense of tranquility dispersed, as if the winds had simply come and gone. The shrill scream of a young girl ricocheted off the walls and for a few brief seconds, it was the only sound that I could hear. It was then that the waves of turmoil commenced to crash upon me. It seemed as though every last one of my senses were succumbed to disperse from my reach completely. As everything blurred, I could just barely make out the slam of a door from somewhere alongside me and soon, the only thing that was left in its place was an ominous silence.
To a seven year old me, the looming grey monolith before me wasn’t intimidating, it was downright nightmarish. Maybe I had traumatized myself by watching “Why Airplanes Crash” the night before, or maybe I was scared of leaving everything I knew behind, but the site of the glass encased, dull concrete Airport made me want to turn around and run. And thinking back to that day in 2009, I probably could have. My Aunt and Grandma had stayed up the whole night packing and cleaning and reassuring me and my Sister that yes, Florida was fun, and no, the Airplane wasn’t going to crash and burn and consequently turn into a steaming pile of ash and dismembered corpses. They were both exhausted, and if me or my sister tried to turn back and ran around the parking lot, they would’ve surrendered and let us be. Regardless of what
Oh no. Not Kate, not my precious Kate. I run over to the wreckage just as Josh stumbles out drunk as hell. He was in the drivers seat. I open the door and check Kate's pulse.
I was surprised when I was in the cafe, and suddenly the weather changed from a sunny afternoon to a stormy dark afternoon. I had seen many rain showers, but this one seemed different. This seemed different, because I had a different view and perspective of the storm. A storm like this had never left an impact on me.
of town. But this morning he had to wait a bit longer than he wanted
Sara and Anna picked up the umbrellas and left the door. The rain never let up all day. Sara wished to herself that the rain will stop and the fine weather will come tomorrow. They arrived at the nail salon they have visited together quite often. “Hey girls, it’s been a long time!
As he was now wide awake, Robert thought he ought to get dressed and go downstairs, which he did. Downstairs, Roberts mum and seven younger sisters had already started eating their breakfast, infact they were already on their second helping and running out of cereal. "You know what happens when you lay in on the weekend, don't you." noted Michelle, Robert's eldest sister, before putting another spoon full of sugar puffs in her mouth. "I know, I know" replied Robert "any-way what's left.
